I guess I had a bunch of channels enabled but my login credentials for most of them disappeared or something. I opened the Playon Browser config and re-enabled the channels that were saying I wasn't logged in when I tried watching the shows, and put in my credentials again. After I finished, I restarted the PC, restarted Playon, and restarted Kodi. Now, when I click the Playon Browser plugin in kodi it brings up the main menu and every time I click on "Movies and TV" it says Working for a while then errors and says to check the log. I turned on debug mode in Kodi, cleared the kodi log, and restarted Kodi to have a clean log and it rocketed up almost instantly to 40MB. I let it sit there and run after clicking the "Movies and TV" link in Playon for about 2 min and the file size got up to 128MB. Here's the link to that log.

It's actually just a chunk of the code. I tried posting a 9K lines of the 400K and it crashed my webpage. Let me know if you need a different chunk.
There's a lot of info up to line 9686 in the log and then after that there are about 420 Thousand lines that are similar to this:
17:34:19 T:5488 WARNING: CWin32DirectSound::GetSpace - buffer underrun - W:10680, P:4294922040, O:104.
Was it a channel in PlayOn that I added that's causing an error? Thanks.
Also, m.playon works fine for me

I have been battling for the past two days solid to get the playon browser workimg.
Im at the point to where I can browse my Netflix, and see all the media available, but when I select something i get a quick pop "Openingstream/media
and then the pop up disappears and nothing happens.
I am running my Kodi on the same machine (HTPC) as the Playon application. Is this what a native installation refers to?
I am running Playon V4 and Kodi 15.
I have done everything that I could possibly find with regards to the Playon Browser installation. THe main two items being adding a upnp:// as a video source, and changing the IP address within the settings of the Addon to that which I get by visiting m.playon.tv
I am not sure what else to do.
Please can someone assist?
Thank you,
Jared

Is that possible with this addon, or does it require uPnP to find the server? Reason I ask is because his router doesn't have uPnP support.PlayOn requires upnp. You'll need to tell them to upgrade their router.

Good to know before they wasted 50 bucks. Thanks.

However I have found out a couple additional things about PlayOn that make me wonder if they will even want it, in particular that it limits the video quality to 720p and the audio to 2-channel stereo even if the source offers full 1080p and 5.1 audio. I can't figure out why they would intentionally degrade the audio and video for all users (there should be options to select whether you need lower video or audio quality, but it should not be forced on everyone), but that definitely makes it a lot less attractive.
Now if I were a Windows guru I'd try to figure out what they are calling to do their transcoding (in the Linux world it would probably be either ffmpeg or avconf) and insert some kind of shim code to look for and strip out any arguments that change the quality of the video or audio. But I have no idea what they would be using in Windows; for all I know they may have written their own transcoding software. I haven't touched Windows in about a decade, except for the odd instance here and there, so I remember very little about it now (mainly use OS X although after upgrading to 10.11 and discovering how many things that used to work are broken, I'm starting to wonder if I should just try to run Linux on everything. Yet I have a feeling Linux would frustrate me even more).
